ZUN on Touhou and derivative works

Monday, December 15th, 2008

maikaze

ZUN posted a bunch of stuff about Touhou and doujin stuff last week.

I wasn’t sure if I wanted to post about this because the English speaking Touhou community is pretty active and they’d probably do the same with much more details anyway, but I was told that some other site had posted an article about ZUN and Touhou and tried to portray him like he was an asshole. So yeah.

Monday, December 15th, 2008

in seasonPEACH-PIT has apologised on their website saying that ZOMBIE-LOAN, Rozen Maiden, and Shugochara are now on hiatus due to the sudden illness of the author (one of them?), and the latest issues of the magazines they’re supposed to be published in will not have the latest chapter.

The author says that she hopes to recover as soon as possible and be discharged from the hospital and come back again as soon as possible.

Did not mention which one of them was hospitalized.

Kannagi author current condition

Thursday, December 11th, 2008

overworkedMinekura Kazuya who is the author of BUS GAMER which is serialized in the same magazine as Kannagi says on her blog that Kannagi author Takenashi Eri’s current condition is so bad that Takenashi can’t move her own body.

Just because there might still be people who are thinking that Nagi’s virginity is stopping Takenashi from continuing her work.

Gonzo ero anime maybe

Gonzo is reportedly going to make ero anime

From mixi

Animator is saying that Gonzo is planning to make ero anime soon. And they’re putting their worst possible staff to work on it.

Can’t tell if it’s true, but Gonzo is doing bad enough financially to make it believable at least.

Kannagi manga hiatus

Friday, December 5th, 2008

Summary of events:
1) Nagi not virgin
2) Party
3) Magazine released and it’s not really true, but party anyway
4) Party dies out and all prepare to go home
5) With wonderful timing Kannagi manga is stopped till further notice due to alleged author health issues
6) Unlimited party time

I’ll attribute lack of updates due to that Nagi is not a virgin, because all things are linked to Nagi’s virginity.

Also 428 is pretty cool, I might not be laughing at famitsu afterall.
